The New Pet Sematary Trailer Will Mess You Up

Another Stephen King adaptation is coming and it might be the scariest one so far.

"They don't come back the same," the new Pet Sematary trailer promises, and indeed they don't. The tease for the new movie out this morning is freaky, heavy on atmosphere, and includes a pretty heavy deviation from the original story. Watch if you're not too hung up on spoilers:

For those unfamiliar with the book, it's Louis Creed's younger son who get hit by the truck then revived, not his elder daughter, Ellie. The switch-up hasn't sit right with purists, but I can't imagine this is the last major surprise this adaptation is going to throw at us. There's still plenty of time for that kid to get what's coming to him, folks.

Pet Sematary is one of King's earliest and scariest books, and the horror-heavy vibe here looks like it's honoring that. The film follows Louis (Jason Clarke) who moves to the country with his wife (Amy Seimetz!) and kids, and through new friend Jud (John Lithgow!!) discovers a long-running superstition within the town that anything buried in the pet cemetery (its signage misspelled by the town's kids) tends to find its way back out of the ground.
